Gradebook

Gradebook Overview

The Grades tool provides access to your course gradebook. This includes all scores that you have entered for your students across all assignments. You can also view and enter grades by course section. This is especially useful if you have multiple course sections combined into one course.

For an overview of how to use the Gradebook see the following guide - How do I use the Gradebook? Links to an external site.

How do you setup your Gradebook?

Information on how to setup your Gradebook was contained in Module 5: Gradebook Setup

Where do you access the Gradebook?

There are two ways to access the gradebook:

From within a course click on the "Grades" link on the Navigational Toolbar on the left side of the page.
From the Canvas dashboard, click on the "Grades" link on the bottom right side of the page and select one of your courses.

Entering & Editing Scores Manually

Most grades are automatically posted to the grade book when the instructor grades assignments, quizzes, etc. using Speedgrader. However, grades can be manually entered into the grade book when needed.

To manually enter a grade, click on the desired cell within the grade book and enter the desired score.
If you have associated letter grades with a particular quiz or assignment, you can enter the letter grade and the numerical grade will automatically be calculated.
